Cover by Adam Hughes.


"The Mission" is written by Greg Rucka with art by Drew Johnson and Ray Snyder.

Diana, Wonder Woman, is an ambassador to the United Nations as well as being a member of the Justice League of America. This issue mostly deals with her staff at the embassy. Through the eyes of a new hire, we meet the people who work for Diana. When asked why he wants to work there during his interview, the new guy explains "because she makes a difference." He sits in on a bull session discussing Diana's book tour. (There is an amusing bit where they show a proposed cover to the book. It has a sexy "-in-the-air" pose that they all cringe at. The irony is that this issue has a cover by the uber-talented Adam Hughes, known for his knockout ladies.) He also meets Superman when he drops by and the private chef, a minotaur named Ferdinand. He's promised a treat by his co-workers at the end of his first day, and the creative team delivers on that promise to him and the reader.

The b-plot to this story involves Wonder Woman herself. On behalf of United Nations troops, Diana has been tasked with taking down an African warlord. The conceit is that, for most of her scenes, Wonder Woman is seen as only a blur, taking out tanks and artillery, but avoiding bloodshed. She shows up at the end to bring the whole thing together.

Topical and interesting storytelling with nice art. If you liked "Ex Machina", you will like this issue. Check it out.

  • Plus, it has one of the best Adam Hughes covers ever!! I love Greg Rucka. He creates intricate plots and well-rounded characters. Check out the Image comic Lazarus for the best example of his world-building abilities. This issue #195, was the first issue of his long run on Wonder Woman and the slow star definitely pays off through to the breath-taking end. Highly recommended!
